Thanksgiving 2012

This Thanksgiving was a special one because it was my nephew, Wake's, first.  Hudson and Wake are exactly 15 months apart and Hudson loves him so very much.  Naturally, my sister and I couldn't let such an occasion pass without a cousin photo shoot.  So, with matching thanksgiving tees and stocking caps (that I knitted for both boys) we got some adorable shots that I know we will cherish forever.

I love the fall season, October, and of course...Halloween.  I've never been one for the scary or gory side of halloween, just the fun, creative costumes, decorations and of course...the CANDY!
Keeping with the fun and creative side of things I decided to make Hudson's costume this year.  His love for Mickey Mouse inspired me yet again and I spent the whole month of October prepping him for his Mickey Mouse transformation. 
On October 30th the city of Stillwater threw it's downtown halloween festival.  This was our first year to attend so naturally, we invited  my parents and my sister, brother-in-law and adorable nephew to join in on the fun.  We kicked the evening off with delicious tacos from Fuzzy's Taco Shop (my favorite new joint in Stillwater) and then we headed to the streets of downtown for what we hoped would be a night of family, fun and yummy treats.  We were a little disappointed in the festival (to say the least) but the pictures made it all worth it!

Oh-two-dles!!

Yesterday we celebrated Hudson's 2nd birthday and I really cannot believe my baby is two! Surrounded by nearly 30 of your wonderful family and friends...Hudson had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed cook-out party!

Of course you can't have a Mickey Mouse party without the whole gang.
